Maybe keeping Bristol with her in fancy hotels is a form of birth control.

The only thing that will interest her daughter enough to get her away from the redneck bf for a weekend. I'm just guessing.

2. That horse has done left the barn.

Too little, too late.

3. yes, since she is against proper sex education

Which, by the way, could've saved this "values" politician the embarrassment of having a pregnant teen on her hands.

I commiserate with Bristol, though. Imagine having a beauty-queen incompetent right wing nut for a mom.

4. Bristol is one of the only people in this entire sordid story that I feel for.

I notice that we don't see Bristol on the campaign trail. This is obviously because her mother is embarrassed to have her around. Bristol's not in school, and pregnant women should get exercise, so there's no reason for Bristol not to be traveling with her mom. But no, she's stuck back in Alaska. Like sending her off to a home for unwed moms.

7. Those trips may have been the only time she knew where

her teenaged daughter was and what she was doing.

9. If it wasn't for her Mother's ambition...

Bristol would have had a nice, quiet, safe, hypocritical GOP family abortion.
